First Snow, First Ski Turns, New Ski Utah Magazine

Snow in Utah's high country has skiers
excited. The storm that left Utah yesterday dropped a fair amount in
some spots, including Alta and Snowbird. Early bird ski enthusiasts were seen hiking up the hill and skiing down.

This snow will probably all melt, as
temperatures recover this weekend. But more will soon come.

SkiUtah.com is out with its new Ski
Utah magazine, which is a comprehensive guild to all things
skiing in Utah. It gives details about each of our 15
resorts, plus great information about other winter activities and
lodging options.

Another New Utah Ski Hill?

A Daggett County group hopes to build a
new resort on the shores of Flaming Gorge Reservoir, complete with a
ski hill. To make that happen they hope for a federal land swap,
adding wilderness area in the High Uintas in exchange for development
on what is now Forest Service land around the reservoir.

It is far from a done deal, and there
will be great debate about the merits of the plan. This
article has details.
